BB Code Enhancements - BB Code [table]

BB Code [table]
by StGaensler

Description
This Hack provides a BB code [table] to add a table to the post
The skin of the table automatically fits the style because the CSS classes of vBulletin are used.

A table is simply made of some lines (will be the rows). The cols are seperated by |. So this will be a table:

[table="head"]head col1|head col2|head col3
row1 col1|row1 col2|row1 col3
row2 col1|row2 col2|row2 col3[/table]

A screenshot of a "ready" table is attached

Usage

1. install attached product XML through product manager (overwrite existing)
2. install at least one language pack in AdminCP -> Languages & Phrases -> Download / Upload Languages -> Import Language XML File
   Important: Select the language you want to import the phrases into, not "(Create New Language)" - this won't work! If you use another version of vBulletin than I use enable "Ignore Language Version" to import the language pack.

Please note: (installing)
Installing this product will: (reverted during uninstall)

1. rename a existing BB code "table" to "table_saved"
2. add a new BB code [table]

If you want to have live sortable columns (JavaScript): Download attached sorttable.js.txt rename it to sorttable.js and place it into the /clientscript/ folder of your vBulletin. Then go to AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> BB Code [table] Settings -> Enabled Features Of This BB Code and enable sortable
Note: Including the file on the webpages where it is necessary is done by my product. So if sortable is disabled, it won't be included automatically.
If you want to have a icon for the editor you may use this for free: Download this icon and place it in your /images/editor/ folder.

Please note: (usage)

• Of course you can use vB Code and smilies inside the table!
• The first line defines how much columns are in the table. If the other lines have more or less colums they are cut off or filled with   (space)
• You can find a detailed description of the options (please read it before requesting help)
• Empty rows are (should be ) removed.

New features

• define colspan of cells
• small panel in AdminCP
• define CSS class of table and tablerows
• live sorting of table through clicking the head of a column
• defining maximum width of a table

Maybe planned features

• detailed description of the vB Code in misc.php?do=bbcode depending on the features enabled in AdminCP (planned for next beta version)
• define formatting (bold, italic), align (left, right, center) and width of the cols

Suggested but not planned features

• none

Known problems

• Bugfix of version 0.1.1 doesn't work if vBulletin should write template names into the source code

Version history:
0.0.1 - 0.0.5 internal releases for testing purposes (Thanks to Zombie79 from powerforen.de for testing)
0.1 first official release
0.1.1 fixed small bug: if a line ends with eg vbcode quote no new row was generated (should already have been fixed but did not work)
0.1.2 workaround: removed call to function bcmod(), it could also be done another way
0.1.3.x beta version described here (and following) - added admin panel, colpan and css feature
0.1.4 stable version - no significant changes to the last beta (0.1.3.8)
0.1.5.x beta version described here (and following) - added sortable, maxwidth, versioncheck, upgrade message, compatibility to vB 3.6
0.1.6 stable version - two bugfixes to last beta, {br} for posting linebreaks in a tablecell
0.1.7.x stable version - compatibility to vB 3.7 (description) - added tab seperated tables

This hack can be used for free. If you want to make a small donation, just contact me. We will find a way
I don't want this product to be distributed from other sources. Please don't upload it to other vBulletin related boards etc.

Is there a way to center all cells without having to do each cell separately?

For some of the tables I'm creating, it's becoming quite time consuming

This is a FANTASTIC mod which, for me, is going to help with communicating with my folks and displaying information like I had never been able to before. :up:

[ArnyVee]

Has anyone been able to figure out a way to merge two cells?

Edited: So, you can use the {colsp=5} option to merge cells from that point to five cells to the right. Or, if you use {colsp=2} it'll merge two cells from that cell towards the right.

Is there a way to make certain borders in between two cells transparent? Where it simulates the look of a merged cell, but really are two separate cells with no divider between them.

Or, is there a way to make text from the same cell align on opposite sides of the cell? For example, the left text to align on the left and the right text align on the right.

[Baigo]

I cant make appear when doing a new post/topic. Any idea?

[ArnyVee]

Baigo, I have the same issue. Do we have to reset the images somewhere?

[Baigo]

Found the problem. The path to the image is wrong on the BB code. Just edit it and put the correct path.

[ArnyVee]

Thanks Baigo, something so simple ... LOL

Does anyone have some examples of cool "outside the box" type of stuff that you've done with the tables? I'd like to get some ideas. :up:

hi there,

i am trying to do a legue table, and trying to do it so that it does sort after how many played match and how many points and witn name of the club and a rank order, but cannot getting to work proberly.

heres my eg..

[table="head;sort=16d,15;autonumtitle=Rank;width=12 em"]#|CLUBNAME|MATCHES|POINTS

1|a|0|0
2|b|0|0
3|c|0|0
etc etc etc
16|q|0|0[/table}

what i then want is if club b has played 1 match and gets 3 points, this team is sorted as number 1 at the top like this

1|b|1|3
2|a|0|0
3|c|0|0
etc etc etc
16|q|0|0

So it has to sort from more than one thing, both #, Clubname,Match and points at the same time

i hope you get what i mean and is this possible??

should say that i use this on vbadvanced as a left coloumn info

Sorry DGF, I don't use the sorting feature. Hopefully someone will jump in to help. Good luck! :up:
